This Micro Lesson explores a Double-stop Riff in the key of, "A Minor."

This Micro Lesson covers an interesting Two-Note chord riff in, "A Minor." Guitarists generally refer to two-note chords as, "Double-Stops." These ideas operate around the use of two notes from the bigger, (more complete), chord of three-notes.

If a power-chord is not the focus of the phrase, (or entire progression), the other Double-Stop chords will generally use the root and the third. This approach is what we find in Micro-Lesson 61.

The harmony established by this double-stop phrase quickly moves through the small two-note double-stops, "A minor," "B minor," and, "G major" in the first two measures. An, "F major," to, "C major," wraps up the phrase, finally resolving on a, "G" chord.
